Justin Raimondo has an excellent column today that pretty much sums up how the war in Iraq is going so far. Apparently it’s not going to be the cakewalk that was promised at the beginning, but of course it’s the American soldiers and the Iraqis who get to pay the price for this, not the […]

Right now there’s really too much going on, and too much being said, for me to be able to keep up with posting about any decent percentage of it. To make matters even worse, I’ll be heading off on a trip in the middle of next week, so I’ll fall even farther behind! If you’re […]

“Let’s begin by laying out where I’m coming from on the issue of Israel. I find anti-Semitism to be a loathsome ideology. My Jewish grandfather came to this country in 1938, escaping from Nazi Germany.
